Team India's fast bowler Mohammed Shami is currently recovering from his injury. He has been out of the field since the ODI World Cup 2023. Shami had undergone surgery in February 2024 due to ankle injury. Recently he has been seen bowling once again. Meanwhile, Mohammed Shami has given a big statement about Rishabh Pant, which has won everyone's heart. Actually, Mohammed Shami has revealed how while recovering from injury, he took inspiration from Rishabh Pant, who helped him a lot.

Shami made Rishabh Pant his 'guru'

Actually, Rishabh Pant had a car accident in December 2022, when he was seriously injured. During this period, Pant was away from cricket for a long time and was recovering from his injuries at the National Cricket Academy. At that time Shami was also in NCA due to injury. He spent a lot of time with Pant. During this time, he got to learn a lot from Pant, which was useful to him this time.

Mohammed Shami, while talking about Rishabh Pant during an event in Gurugram recently, said, 'I spent time with Rishabh Pant at the National Cricket Academy during his injury. Pant was rehabbing at NCA after the injury. I had seen some of his photos, which were very scary. But I never saw him sad, which inspired me the most. All his ligaments were torn but he continued his rehab with a smile on his face. This was a big lesson for me also. His positive attitude taught me the importance of patience.

Mohammed Shami gave update on his return

Giving an update on his injury during the event, Mohammed Shami said that he is not feeling any pain now and he will get at least one more injury to strengthen his claim for selection for the tour of Australia starting next month. Will have to prove fitness by playing two domestic matches. Shami said, 'I am happy with the way I bowled yesterday. Earlier I was bowling with half the run-up because I did not want to take too much pressure. But yesterday I bowled with full run-up. I have no pain now. Everyone has been wondering for a long time whether I will be able to go for the Australia series or not but there is still some time left for it.
